Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Wednesday used a disputed parliamentary maneuver to stave off defeat on the volatile issue of how fast motorists can drive before getting a speed camera ticket in Chicago.
One day after the City Council Finance Committee voted 16 to 15 to raise the ticketing threshold — from 6 mph over the posted speed limit to 10 mph — mayoral allies exercised their right to defer consideration of the higher threshold until their next meeting, on July 20.
